Poem.

The Girl Took Poison.

There must be lot's of them
little statements stamped official
"the girl for some reason or other took poison"

Some reason or other?
Other?

"Some reason" said like an off cuff remark
because official can't fathom it
because
life continues
casts only a quick shadow on the dead.

As for the other, it's a Pandora's box
with a sticky lid and a rusty hinge
of course it's different now.

I digress; the girl took poison
it's official
there's a statement
took poison
like a little one takes their first food
or a drunk tossing the glass back
or a surgeon making a fine mark with their knife
of course its different now.

we have lights and fanfare
we have experts and specialists
statistics to tantalise

Oh but yes, your fingers are sticky;
lick them clean in the dark
taste
and then the
aftertaste
lingers.

More Puerile

Well Peurile Productions have had another film do well in Sydney and due to hit the rest of the country soon. Yes...its to do with a lovely pussy and an evil dog.......
Anyway I designed the poster for it and did the music!
Look out for it.

Its not

that I have had nothing to say- just been mega busy.....with my family, photography business and I don't even know what !

So Puerile Productions (remember them??) vile -in the best way imaginable have a new project....hot on the trail of their short film that has already played in Melbourne as part of Trasharama.....this time a number of film makers are given scripts- without giving anything away there's a common something in all films. We get to do with the script what we want and shoot the film and it then becomes part of a horrific terrific whole!

I haven't started filming mine yet but I have been half thinking about how to do it...plus I gave them the title for the series...:)

Vomit is the new BLACK!

A month ago or so I was chatting to a friend online and she was lamenting that her baby had thrown up on her...she is a first time mum and I rather flippantly said "Vomit is the new black!" as in get used to it...I was telling my husband how I should print a tshirt with that as the slogan.

I have designed and printed tshirts before....with a slogan that no one understands...but that's a whole other story.

Anyway a few weeks back at my daughters tennis class- my son puked on my jeans- one of the other mums commented how you get used to being vomited on..and I said look as far as I'm concerned Vomit is the new Black....as these parents all had children- they could appreciate it.

One dad even said "you should market that"!

Yeah well it's not such a silly idea....people paid extra for "ripped" jeans...

So who is for taking the fashion world by storm....

Some reasons why vomit is the new black...

It's original!

It's organic!

It's easily replenished!

Colour co-ordinates with everything!

Numerous variations!

I see the Tshirt in two designs....the first would be a black tshirt with the slogan "Vomit is the new Black" on it....with enough space for your kidlets to vomit everywhere/anywhere on it.

The second would be the tshirt  and slogan with predesigned vomit splots to inspire your child to make their own mark so to speak....(as if they need any help!)

Mum's could wear them with pride- instead of apologising "excuse my top D just vomitted on it"...it could become a trend....and instead of reading tea leaves...read vomit stains..."oooh this looks like a bike maybe little gordon is trying to tell us something" (yeah he is but it's probably more along the lines of " I'm finding things hard to stomach" rather than "I'd love a new trike"...)

Ok..I'll slink back quietly away....

but if anyone wants a tshirt just email me....

ok.....ok....I'm going.
